This is inspired by Howard Stern and other morning radio shock crews. First of all, Redball and Newport are a half hour late for their show but it goes on without them, sponsored by MIT's Apple Gunkies. Then they get behind the mikes to patter their way through gossip, insults, a call from Ronald's real mom who wants child support from Ronald, lots of complaints, bitching with callers and their engineer, a big 'features vs. calls' in-house argument, Alexis the Virgin calls in, OJ Simpson's Workout, Radio Jihad, Sub-Genius think tank, Dr. Howland Owl, drops in on his earth area book tour, a Bosley Crendix farts review, Stern on the drugged Elvis, and it's all pretty weird for this station. This became the third show in OTE history which required an explanation to KPFA management after they received complaints from listeners who took it seriously. A great vomiting spoof, if you can stand it!

The description is for the "Redball and Newport" show. This episode is about Captain Beefheart. "Heaven's Blacktop Hat (July '95) Stephen Ronan, Tom

Patrick, and Don. Vividly unique, yet rather ignored by pop history, the startling music of Captain Beefheart becomes our soul subject as we remix a lot of Beefheart rarities, original mixes, and alternate and live performances, along with Jack Lantern Eyelid's serialized metabiography of Don Van Vliet, the BeefQuest phone quiz, and a taste ridden slide show and discussion of paintings by Van Vliet with Crosley Bendix and the interpretively suspicious Dr. Sigmund Void. Dr. Dark's Dark Corner provides beefy, heartfelt insights, as well as electro-scientific micro audio probes into samples of this closest to Dada of all Rock 'n Rollers, if that's what you call this. Our musically telescopic mix is rough, ready, and held together with a good number of lucky spots, but don't buy this to hear the recordings, as nothing is whole here. Also Beefheart in interviews, out takes and ads. And what about that Magic Band?" https://web.archive.org/web/20071013131235/http://www.negativland.com/nmol/ote/text/1995.html
